"almond joy martini" news and stories

It's Halloween night and the kids have gone out, made out like candy-bandits, come back, and are now safely in bed. Now it's your turn, so what better way to turn in for the evening than a sweet, candy-inspired cocktail, or what we like to call "booze candy?" Normally, I stay away from such sugary, syrupy drinks, but on Halloween, I make an exception for this, the Almond Joy Martini, of which I have written before but hadn't yet tried. Instead of the suggested garnish of shredded coconut, though, we did a swirl of chocolate syrup.

I'll just say that it's pretty damn good. If you feel like a nut, that is.
